Evaluating stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects by non-invasive myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) modalities has taken a leading role in the identification of flow-limiting epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD); it has excellent diagnostic and prognostic value. Non-invasive MPI can be performed using conventional and novel gamma cameras or PET/CT.1 A range of imaging techniques has… View more

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still a major public health problem worldwide, causing high rates of morbidity and mortality. In the United States, nearly one million patients suffer from AMI each year.1 In the UK, around 80,000 people died from coronary heart disease (CHD) in 2010.2 The current approach to the treatment of myocardial infarction involves early revascularisation with… View more

Vasa Vasorum The coronary arterial wall generally consists of the tunica intima, tunica media and tunica adventitia. In particular, the coronary adventitia harbours the vasa vasorum (VV),which has a diameter of 50–300 μm and plays an important role as a network of nutrient blood vessels to the arterial wall (Figure 1).1–3 The VV is enhanced in association with arterial wall thickening when the… View more
